We work [for our living], working
hard with our own hands. When we are reviled (abused; attacked with evil
words) and verbally abused, we bless. When we are persecuted,
we take it patiently and endure.
ونتعب
عاملين بايدينا.نشتم فنبارك.نضطهد فنحتمل.
1 Corinthians 4:12 AMP
Endurance is not just the ability to bear a hard
thing; it is the ability to turn it into glory. We
have all probably discovered that the hardest times to remember the basic
truths of God’s Word are during periods of pain or difficulty. With the right
attitude we can make it a habit to view every situation through the filter of
God’s perspective.
And we know [with great confidence]
that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together
[as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according
to His plan and purpose
ونحن
نعلم ان كل الاشياء تعمل معا للخير للذين يحبون الله الذين هم مدعوون حسب قصده.
Romans 8:28 AMP
If we believe that God will bring good out of the
situation somehow, then pessimistic thinking finds no permanent home in our hearts.
When we adopt the right attitude, over time, our emotions will gradually align
with the truth. Let us always remember that the Lord will give us His
perspective if we ask Him to.
I invite you to repeat the following prayer for yourself:
Abba
Father, I
pray that out of Your glorious riches You strengthen me with power through Your
Spirit in my inner being, so that I can have Your
divine perspective and the right attitude. Lord please keep me away from discouragement, worry, and self-sufficiency.
Lord please help me to focus on You instead of my circumstances. I know that
when I am hurting it does not mean that You do not care about me. Your promises
are true Lord, and I am confident that You will change all my circumstances to
work for Your glory and my good, joy and peace. Abba Father, thank You that
Your deep steadfast love for me endures forever. Thank You Father for Your
abundant blessings in my life, and for the riches of Your grace upon my life. I
will rejoice in The Lord. In the name of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ I
pray. To Jesus be the power, the glory, the majesty and the dominion forever
and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Jesus loves you,
In Him,
Wagdi Henein
